The Empress wore a complex expression, silent.
Her moist apricot eyes seemed filled with embarrassment, mixed with anger, ultimately transforming into a long, deep sigh.
Sun Senior Palace Lady dared not continue the topic, silently pressing her beautiful back, as a deathly silence pervaded the hall.
After a long while, the Empress spoke: "The Heavenly Human Martial Exam is about to start, isn't it?"
"Yes, Your Highness, it's half a month from now, and disciples from various sects have already started arriving in the capital," Sun Senior Palace Lady replied, "This year is particularly grand, it's said that even the Three Saint Sect will send people to attend."
The Empress's eyes darkened slightly.
The Heavenly Human Martial Exam was a grand event for martial arts selection initiated by the Grand Ancestor.
Of course, the martial exam was just a general term, be it martial arts, Daoism, techniques, or Buddhism... all rely on individual capabilities, nothing is forbidden.
